February, 2008


Dear IMA Chapter Member,

We are having an exiting event this month. Tektronix is hosting our chapter meeting on site at their campus in Beaverton. Being able to meet on site at a major Portland firm and meet with their finance & accounting team is a great opportunity for networking that you won’t want to miss. Our theme for February is Business Valuation. We have two good speakers, one who will describe the techniques to value a business and another to discuss best people practices for integration after a company purchase.

There are also two education opportunities you may wish to avail yourself of. First if the Reno Educational Seminar and Training (REST) for 2008. This conference, held in Reno NV, from February 21-23, will allow you to earn up to 21 hours of CPE. Our chapter’s own Ken Becker will be speaking on Record Management Strategies. You may obtain the REST 2008 brochure and registration information from the Golden West Council Website.

Another educational and networking opportunity is available at the national IMA conference in Tampa FL from June 14-18th. Yours truly will be one of the speakers; my topic is how to setup your own offshore facility. You can obtain over 30 CPE hours at this conference as well as great networking opportunities. Registration information is available from the IMA Conference Website.

Regards,

Russell R. Boedeker
